You’d be hard-pressed to find an eyeshadow color so universally flattering as gold. The typically warm, shimmery shade complements all eye colors, skin tones, and occasions — just ask these celebs. Here, find all the celebrity gold eyeshadow inspo you could ever want, together in one place.

Rihanna might be the undisputed queen of monochrome outfit-makeup moments, and this glistening gold getup couldn’t be more enchanting. Opting for a true yellow-gold, the shine of the shadow and her glimmering hoops cast the warmest glow. Steven Ferdman/Patrick McMullan/Getty Images
Gold is one of those colors that’s bright and attention-catching, but not necessarily what you’d call bold. Because of its earth tone-adjacent feel, those just easing into true makeup experimentation will have fun playing with different shapes and styles — like Camila Cabello’s triangular wings.@patrickta
Just emphasizing her already-radiant complexion, Jennifer Lawrence’s warm gold eyeshadow is like a shimmery halo for her blue eyes. Note how her bronzed cheeks match the eyeshadow’s color and undertone for a cohesive, glamorous blend. Taylor Hill/FilmMagic/Getty Images
Megan Thee Stallion pretty much always looks like a million bucks, so it’s fitting that she’d go for such an expensive-looking eyeshadow moment for the VMAs. The bright gold is made all the better by darker outer lid accent colors, helping the gold towards the inner corners stand out all the more.Astrid Stawiarz /VMN19/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
If you can’t tear your eyes away from a resplendent, gold-draped Beyoncé, you are not alone. Her matching eyeshadow is thoughtfully subtle, just a wash of pale gold across the lids. The minimalist eye look is a lovely contrast to her scarlet lips, sophisticated hairstyle, and Old Hollywood earrings.@beyonce

So fitting for the year’s Heavenly Bodies theme, Priyanka Chopra’s look at the 2018 Met Gala is gilded and glorious. Sandwiched between a metal gold hood and chest piece, Chopra’s lids were covered in gold glitter eyeshadow while her arms sparkled with matching gold body glitter.Kevin Tachman/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Tessa Thompson radiates sophistication with her classic, gold-accented Oscar look. Tying together her yellow diamond earrings and gold detailing across the bust of her gown, the gold eyeshadow on her lids pops with a brown crease color added for even more depth.@babskymakeup
Between her gold-wrapped halo braids, voluminous half-pony, and a marigold high-necked gown, Issa Rae’s look can only be described as angelic. Her gold eyeshadow, kept to the lids and accented by long, fluttery lashes, stands in excellent contrast to her shimmery purple lipstick, too. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images
Taylor Swift was already an industry veteran by the time she turned up at the 2012 ACMAs with this deep gold smoky eye. While her trademark bangs and some major lashes obscure most of what’s happening on top, the smudged gold across the lower lashes proves this moment deserved an award of its own.Frazer Harrison/ACMA2012/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Leave it to Gen Z icon Naomi Osaka to put her own spin on gold — a metal she’s very, very familiar with thanks to her legendary tennis career. For a Mykonos getaway, Osaka blended a Grecian sky blue with glimmering gold for a two-tone look made for an adventure-packed vacation. @naomiosaka
